S70 Draft Profiles - Part 5: New & Improved!

[Patrik Tallinder 1,087]

Welcome to my midseason draft profiles! I've been trying to keep improving this series, and thanks to some advice by Zepheter, I've made some new changes to it. Hopefully it makes it more interesting for everyone to read. With that said, here are my rankings for the week:

 

1. Edwin THE Encarnacion -

2. Mikko Lahtinen -

3. Shawn Glade Jr New

4. Odin Omdahl 1

5. Jacques Lafontaine 1

6. Lewis Dawson -

7. Damien Wolfe 2

8. Iangenere Risteneen 1

9. Gabriel Gutzwiler 1

10. Chad Magnum New

 

Chad Magnum makes his first appearance into the top 10, and Shawn Glade Jr is finally put on the rankings after I wrongfully assumed he wouldn't go through the draft as a GM player.

News

This week was a pretty quiet week for S70 Draft eligibles, but here is some quick info:

- 21 players were created this week, with 14 coming from YouTube.

- 9 left wingers were created this week.

- imJo recruited 1 player.

- Chad Magnum earned the most TPE this week, with 25.

 

Profiles

Lewis Dawson - C - 120 TPE

Dawson seemingly appeared out of thin air a few weeks ago, skyrocketing up my rankings and earning TPE at a very impressive rate. He has not slowed down yet, earning 17 TPE this week. The Greenland native is an offensive machine, with elite skating, shooting and passing abilities. He is strong in the faceoff dot, but the rest of his defensive game is a work in progress. Sometimes Dawson can lose track of his man in the defensive zone, which can lead to chances for the other team. Despite this, his offensive upside more than makes up for it, and I could see him becoming a really strong scoring center in the future.

 

Aleksandr Aleksandrov - G - 82 TPE

Aleksandrov has proven to be a reliable goalie with exceptional quickness and poise. The 17 year old sits third amongst all S70 goalies in save percentage because of his ability to react extremely fast to anything coming his way, and do so in a calm fashion that leaves weak goals and rebounds as a rarity. He is fairly consistent in earning TPE, usually earning around 4 to 8 per week. This has also been over the time period of close to two months, so it is clear to me that Aleksandr will keep his consistency moving forward, whereas someone else could earn a lot of TPE in a week or two, but could disappear the week after.

 

Owen Kaitanaq - LW - 76 TPE

Owen Kaitanaq has seen a great start to his VHLM career, with 18 points in just 26 games. Currently my 15th ranked prospect, he is a hard working two-way winger with incredible goal scoring prowess. While Owen could round out his offensive game a bit more with some improved puck skills and passing ability, the tools are there for a very effective scoring winger in the VHL. He is still fairly new, so with consistency, expect to see him climb up the rankings. So far, his numbers look great, so it will be interesting to see how they go up as his TPE rises as well. The upside here is definitely intriguing.

 

Thank you all for reading, and make sure to come back next week!

Really like what you did with this one. Noticed you added some new stuff we spoke about briefly last time. Keep up the great work.

I think it's safe to say that Re-Encarnacion, Lahtinen, Glade Jr, and Omdahl are the de facto top 4 players going in the draft, with Lafontaine close behind

 

The TPE and stats for those 4 are too hard to ignore

 Yeah and then there is another 4 way battle for the 6-10 drafts spots between Iangenere R, Lewis Dawson, Chad Magnum and Jimothy Frost.

Yeah man that’s my bad, there was 2 players last draft that didn’t go through the draft since they were GM players (i think it was Louth and Washington?) so I thought Glade Jr would be the same. I’m happy I was told otherwise or I would’ve looked like an idiot if you weren’t even in my top 10 when the actual draft came around.

Yeah, Louth and Washington were made before we made the announcement removing GM players as a thing so they were grandfathered into the old system. @diamond_ace’s player received the same treatment. Glade Jr. is the first of the batch of players created by GM’s to not fall under the GM player rule and thus he enters the draft.

 

Mind you @ShawnGlade can declare prior to the draft and pay a first round pick to receive his player straight away still.

Don't forget Havlova from S69 as well. That trio is the last of the GM players.

That would be D_A’s player which I mentioned but couldn’t remember his name.
